First ever drawing of Zandarin, from 1983! As you may recall from earlier retrospectives, the various members of the Survey Contact Team used to be able to boast the hilarious job title of “Scavenger.” Sure is weird to look back on what sounded good when you were a kid.

This picture is evidence of one of my earliest anime influences, Battle of the Planets. Is that not totally Jason hair? Sadly, I gave up on this rockin’ hairstyle pretty quickly in favour of my next and more lasting craze, Star Blazers.
